Questions

Brisbane Development Application: what people ask

What's the difference between code and impact assessment?

Section 45 of the Planning Act 2016 sets 2 categories of assessment. Code assessment is carried out only against the assessment benchmarks; impact assessment is against the benchmarks and may also have regard to other relevant matters.

What do I lodge with a development application?

Under section 51, the application must be in the approved form, come with the documents that form requires and the required fee, and, for a material change of use, have the owner's consent.
